Systems and Methods for Predictive Augmentation of Vehicle Service Procedures

1. A method comprising: receiving, by a remote server from a client device, a request for a service procedure including a plurality of procedural steps for servicing a vehicle; supplementing, by the remote server, the service procedure, wherein the supplemented service procedure includes a piece of supplemental service information to supplement a particular procedural step of the service procedure; providing, by the remote server to the client device, the supplemented service procedure in response to the request; and providing, by the remote server to the client device, a definition of a trigger event associated with performance of the particular procedural step of the service procedure, wherein the client device displays the piece of supplemental service information in response to detecting an occurrence of the trigger event during performance of the particular procedural step of the service procedure.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the trigger event comprises a technician action associated with the particular procedural step of the service procedure.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the trigger event comprises a vocal input.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the trigger event comprises a detected technician movement.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the trigger event comprises a request for vehicle information.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the trigger event comprises information representative of a current state of the vehicle.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the trigger event is based on captured image data showing the vehicle during performance of the service procedure.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the image data comprises video data received from a camera associated with the client device.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the piece of supplemental service information is overlaid onto the video data as part of an augmented reality (AR) presentation.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the client device is a portable display device which includes the camera.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the portable display device is a head-mountable device (HMD).

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the piece of supplemental service information comprises a metric associated with a vehicle component.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the metric associated with the vehicle component comprises at least one of a torque specification or a torque pattern for at least one fastener of the vehicle component.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the particular procedural step of the service procedure comprises a direction to add a fluid to one of a vehicle component or a vehicle system, and wherein the piece of supplemental service information comprises at least one of a fluid capacity or fluid specifications of the one of the vehicle component or the vehicle system.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the piece of supplemental service information comprises a location in the vehicle of a vehicle component.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the piece of supplemental service information includes a notification to inspect at least one proximate vehicle component.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the piece of supplemental service information includes an indication of availability of at least one vehicle part to be used in performance of the service procedure.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the piece of supplemental service information includes an indication of customer approval of the particular procedural step of the service procedure.

19. A server, comprising: one or more processors; and a non-transitory computer-readable data storage device storing computer-readable program instructions, wherein the computer-readable program instructions are executable by the one or more processors to: receiving, by the server from a client device, a request for a service procedure including a plurality of procedural steps for servicing a vehicle; supplementing, by the server, the service procedure, wherein the supplemented service procedure includes a piece of supplemental service information to supplement a particular procedural step of the service procedure; providing, by the server to the client device, the supplemented service procedure in response to the request; and providing, by the server to the client device, a definition of a trigger event associated with performance of the particular procedural step of the service procedure, wherein the client device displays the piece of supplemental service information in response to detecting an occurrence of the trigger event during performance of the particular procedural step of the service procedure.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions, that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform functions comprising: receiving, from a client device, a request for a service procedure including a plurality of procedural steps for servicing a vehicle; supplementing, the service procedure, wherein the supplemented service procedure includes a piece of supplemental service information to supplement a particular procedural step of the service procedure; providing, to the client device, the supplemented service procedure in response to the request; and providing, to the client device, a definition of a trigger event associated with performance of the particular procedural step of the service procedure, wherein the client device displays the piece of supplemental service information in response to detecting an occurrence of the trigger event during performance of the particular procedural step of the service procedure.
